DEBATE  INDEX 


SECOND  EDITION

Preface  to  the  Second  Edition 

This  index  was  begun  as  a  card  index  to  the  debaters' 
manuals  in  the  Reference  Department  of  this  Library.  The 
increasing  number  of  such  manuals  and  the  frequent  requests 
for  material  on  debates  made  it  seem  desirable  to  combine  in 
one  list  the  indexes  to  all  the  manuals,  thus  bringing  references 
to  all  the  material  on  one  subject  together  and  saving  the  time 
required  to  consult  the  index  of  each  book.  The  card  index 
has  been  so  useful  here  that  it  has  been  printed,  in  the  hope 
that  it  may  also  be  useful  elsewhere.  Under  each  subject  are 
given  the  proposition  for  debate,  page  references  to  the  manuals, 
and  a  note  indicating  the  material  to  be  found  there,  whether 
briefs,  references,  specimen  debates  or  synopses  of  debates. 

The  "Debates"  of  this  Library,  included  in  the  list  of  books 
indexed,  is  a  loose-leaf  book  containing  briefs  and  references 
copied  from  various  sources  or  supplementing  lists  to  be  found 
elsewhere.  The  Carnegie  Library  "Reference  lists"  referred 
to  are  less  complete  manuscript  lists  compiled  in  response  to 
requests. 

One  hundred  new  references  have  been  added  in  this  edi- 
tion. Twenty-four  of  these  are  on  new  topics  and  seventy-six 
are  additional  references  on  topics  included  in  the  first  edition. 
New  cross  references  have  also  been  included  when  necessary. 
The  new  books  indexed  are  Robbins's  "High  school  debate 
book,"  the  "Debaters'  handbook  series"  and  the  new  edition  of 
Askew's  "Pros  and  cons,"  also  the  numbers  of  the  "Speaker" 
and  of  the  "Bulletin"  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin  issued 
in  the  sixteen  months  since  the  first  edition  of  this  index  was 
published.

Debate  Index  Supplement 

In  July  191 1  this  Library  published  a  Debate  Index,  which 
combined  in  one  list  the  indexes  to  all  the  debaters'  manuals  in 
the  Library.  The  edition  was  exhausted  in  a  little  more  than 
a  year,  and  in  November  191 2  a  new  and  enlarged  edition  was 
published.  The  following  list  is  a  supplement  to  the  second 
edition,  and  indexes  the  debaters'  manuals  which  have  been 
added  to  the  Library  since  November  191 2.  It  includes  refer- 
ences on  twenty-six  new  topics  and  additional  references  on 
one  hundred  and  four  topics  included  in  the  second  edition. 

The  "Debates"  of  this  Library,  referred  to  under  various 
topics  in  the  Index,  is  a  loose-leaf  book  containing  briefs  and 
references  copied  from  various  sources  or  supplementing  lists 
to  be  found  elsewhere.  The  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh 
"Reference  lists"  are  less  complete  manuscript  lists  compiled 
in  response  to  requests. 

The  second  edition,  a  pamphlet  of  84  pages,  is  still  in  print 
and  will  be  sent  postpaid  for  20  cents.
